4. Citizens Comments
Description:
The Board will now hear comments from those persons who have signed up to speak. This portion of the meeting is set aside for parents, students, and community members to speak to the Board about any matter of interest to them pertaining to the school program.
Each person may speak for no more than 5 minutes. During this part of the meeting, the Board will listen, but it will not engage in dialogue or debate with the speakers. Speakers are asked to express themselves in a civil manner, with due respect for the dignity and privacy of others who may be affected by their comments. While it is not the Board’s intent to stifle public comment, speakers should be aware that if their statements violate the rights of others under the law of defamation or invasion of privacy, the speaker may be held legally responsible. If any speaker is unsure of the legal ramifications of the comments he or she wishes to make, the speaker may wish to consult first with his or her own legal advisor. The Board reminds speakers that public comment is not the time or place to bring the Board complaints that are covered by resolution channels established by policy, including: • Employee complaints: DGBA • Student or parent complaints: FNG • Public complaints: GF The Board has adopted specific complaint policies and procedures for presenting those complaints. Those policies require a written complaint, administrative conferences, and a request that the item be placed on the agenda of a Board meeting in the form of a Level Three hearing. This in no way is intended to prohibit public criticism against the board, including criticism of any act, omission, policy, procedure, program, or service that is not otherwise prohibited by law. The Board expects all members of the audience to behave in a polite and orderly fashion during this and all other portions of the meeting. Disruptive conduct will not be tolerated. |
